Firebase Cloud Messaging
Welcome! This is a simple and easy guide to use Firebase Cloud Messaging in Sketchware Pro.
What it is
As you might already know, Firebase is developed by Google. It is a service for developers of small apps(but some big ones use it too). It has many features to try, visit their website to see them all. So, basically, Firebase Cloud Messaging allows app developers to send push notifications to users. The notification can have a image, title, description and more - just check it in Firebase console.
How to use it
First of all, you will probably need to connect your app to Firebase. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of Sketchware Pro.
- Add the Component
First, create a new project(or use one you already have). Then, open it and open component manager. From there, click on the + button which is on the bottom right of the screen. Then, click on Cloud Message. Here enter any name for the component.
2. Compile, run
Wait, that's it? Well, yes! That's true! Implementing Firebase Cloud Messaging is as simple as that!
Component events
onCompleteRegister
| Name | Type | Use |
|---|---|---|
| token | string | If you want to target single devices or create device groups, you'll need to access this token |
| success | boolean | Tells whether did the component work or not |
| errorMessage | string | If success is false, then it shows the reason why the component didn't work |
Sending a Notification
You can easily send a notification from Firebase console. Check Firebase console and you'll get to know how to send notifications yourself.
